Fascinating place. I've always admired the communist principles although they seems at their base level at odds with man's instincts. And now I know more!

This new contemporary art museum is really pushing the boundaries with a huge space, installations and exhibitions. Ok, so it's a bit of a trek from the centre but it's worth it and you can see Prague go by out of the window along the way too.

I'm a huge Gehry fan and couldn't visit Prague without visiting this famous dancing house aka Fred and Ginger. It's marvellous, I don't know how he creates such motion in a building but it's wonderful.

This wonderfully spiky church is pretty imposing and there's so much to see it's incredible. Ornate is the word, with Gothic influences outside and Baroque ones inside. Look out for Tycho Brahe's grave, the altar and two blocked-off windows on the southern wall, where once Franz Kafka looked in as a child from his house!
